Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 2, 1911.

Application filed April 2, 1909. Serial No. 487,567.

To all whom it may concem:

Be it known that I, VICTOR H. SLINACK, a citizen of the United States,residing at the city of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia andState of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Holder forInverted-Mantle Supports or Carriers, of which the following is aspecification.

The principal object of the present invention is to provide for theconvenient and safe application of inverted mantles to burn ers such ashave chimneys and such as are frequently employed in street lighting.

The invention will be finally claimed but first described in connectionwith the embodiment of it selected for illustration in the accompanyingdrawings in which Figure 1, is a view, partly in section, show ing amantle support holder embodying features of the invention. Fig. 2, is atop or plan view showing the holder in application to a chinmey andarranged to hold a mantle support, and Fig. 3, is a perspective view ofthe holder detached.

In the drawings the holder comprises a ring 1, provided with hangers 2.The hangers extend outwardly and upwardly as at 3, from the ring, thenceupwardly as at 4, and terminate in radially extending portions orfingers 5. The hangers are shown to extend from one edge of the ring sothat the ring hangs edgewise. When this arrangement of ring is employedcomparatively little of its surface is presented to the hot products ofcombustion. The holder is inserted into the top of the chimney 6, andthe hangers engage the wall of the chimney, thus centering the ring 1,and detachably securing it to the chimney. The hangers serve to attachthe holder to the chimney in such a way that the two parts may behandled as one. In the construction shown in the drawings the fingers 5,overlie the top of the chimney. The parts 4, abut on the inner surfaceof the flange at the top of the chimney and the parts 3, give thenecessary resiliency to the hangers. The invention, however, is notlimited to this special arrangement. The chimney may be attached to anddetached from the burner 7. For this purpose spring fingers 8, areshown.

The mantle support consists of a ring 9, having radial arms 10,projecting from one of its edges. To this ring 9, is secured theinverted mantle 11. The ring of the mantle support together with themantle is dropped through the ring 1, and the arms 10, rest on the ring1, thus the mantle is supported. Obviously the mantle 11, can be readilypassed through the ring 1, for which purpose the operator may take holdof one of the arms 10. When the parts are in this position the mantlecan be lifted and handled with the chimney and by merely applying thechimney to the burner, the mantle is brought into proper position inrespect to the outlet orifice of the burner.

What I claim is:

The combination in an inverted light of a chimney, a mantle supportholder depending from the top rim of the chimney, a mantle supportdepending from the holder, and spring fingers depending from the burnerstructure and constituting a spring socket into and out of which thechimney may be inserted and withdrawn with the described parts dependingtherefrom.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name.

VICTOR I-I. SLINAOK.
